Yet only one-third of Americans have both developed and practiced a home fire escape plan even though almost two-thirds (62%) of reported home fire deaths resulted from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms.

That's why to kick-start Fire Prevention Week, National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Spokesperson and active fireman Joe Molis, shares tips on the most child-friendly ways to teach kids about fire safety including creating and practicing escape plans, home inspections and locating fire hazards. Joe also discusses some basic fire prevention tips.
